Zach Taylor, an escort in
Sydney, living in Hobart, enlists the help of Natasha Peterson when his teenage
friend, Mia, runs away. He soon finds out that the ‘dragon’ is really more of a
kitten. And although Natasha, Mia’s teacher, is attracted to him as well, she
has her own problems to deal with, not to mention her initial reaction to
Zach’s occupation.
Will Zach’s job keep him
from a chance to be with Natasha?
Life is good for teenager
Mia Levesque. But when Darren Schuster shows up in Hobart, she knows something
is up once Sophie and Mark cut their weekend away short and rush home in the
middle of the night. When Sophie won’t answer Mia’s questions, emotions run
high, and Zach confirms Darren’s identity to Mia. Disappointed, angry, and
feeling alone, Mia runs away.
Will life settle back into
a routine for Mia once she finds out about the stranger in her life?
New Beginnings have given
the Levesque girls a new start in life, will More Beginnings be another chance
for them?
STORY EXCERPT
Zach Taylor’s young
neighbour, Mia, let out a long sigh as she joined him on his front porch and
sat next to him on the swing. Enjoying a cool lemonade, he invited her to grab
a soft drink from the fridge as well. It was a warm summer day, and the air
showed no sign of cooling down. A lot of people in Hobart were weary of the
unusual hot spell for the very southern Australian city.
With another hefty sigh,
Mia raked through her long, blond hair and stared into the distance. “Honestly,
Zach, she’s a dragon. I’m sure she does it on purpose. She doesn’t like me. She
thinks I’m spoilt.”
The dragon in question was Miss
Peterson, Mia’s high school English teacher. There was no doubt that Mia liked
school, and she enjoyed her classes. And even though English wasn’t her worst
subject, it certainly was the toughest one, with Miss Peterson piling on
homework one after the other.
Zach took a sip of his
drink before he replied, “Hey, pumpkin, settle down. What’s that supposed to
mean you’re ‘spoilt’?”
She lifted her shoulder in
a slight shrug. “You know!”
Raising his brows, he
replied, “Actually I don’t know! Isn’t she Sophie’s good friend?”
Another shrug. “Kind of, I
suppose. They used to do the boxing stuff together, and since Soph’s carrying a
baby, they go and enjoy coffee and cake instead every once in a while.”
Ignoring his chuckle, she
went inside and helped herself to cold lemonade. She opened the can with a
simple click as she returned outside and took a long sip.
